Yeah but definitely the way to go - both looks and longevity - pain in the arse but doin it the right way and be done for good - have original brake lines in my Trans Am and dread replacing them - I feel your pain.
costs a lot more...….but by far the best way to go for looks and duration...…...the things is...and it is not a problem....they say if you run braided the whole way back under pressure they bulge just a little taking away from some of your braking pressure....so some say...doubt it...but anyway......along the flat part of the frame with no bends or curves I run the regular steel lines...I just run the braided where they show and where there are bends
